How Does Solea® Laser Dentistry Work?
Solea® utilizes advanced laser technology controlled by computer to precisely and safely vaporize both hard and soft tissues in the mouth, including teeth and gums. This allows for smooth and efficient treatments, ensuring the highest level of care.

Most patients report feeling no discomfort during their Solea® laser dentistry procedure. A few may experience a mild cooling sensation, but overall, the treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible.
What Dental Procedures Can Solea® Perform?
Solea® is approved for use in a variety of dental procedures involving enamel, soft tissue, and bone. These include cavity fillings, gingivectomies, frenectomies, treatment of aphthous ulcers, fibroma removals, crown lengthenings, and more.
Is Solea® Suitable for Seniors and People with Dental Anxiety?
Absolutely. Solea® is an excellent option for seniors and individuals with dental anxiety, offering a more comfortable and less stressful experience. The minimal pain and faster treatment times make it a better choice for anyone seeking gentle dental care.
Can Solea® Help with Snoring?

Traditional Dentistry
Pain & Anesthesia:

Many treatments require little to no anesthesia, reducing discomfort.
Drills and scalpels often require numbing shots, which can cause lingering soreness.
Procedure Speed:
Treatments are up to 75% faster, meaning shorter appointments and fewer visits.
Traditional methods require multiple steps, leading to longer chair time.
Healing & Recovery:
Minimally invasive with reduced swelling, bleeding, and faster healing. Schedule an appointment today.
Can result in extended recovery times, discomfort, and a greater need for post-procedure care.
Precision & Tissue Preservation:
Targets only the affected area, leaving more healthy tooth and gum tissue intact.
Conventional tools can remove excess healthy tissue, causing unnecessary damage.
Dental Fillings:
Laser dentistry for dental fillings removes cavities without the heat, pressure, or vibration of a drill. Many cases require no drilling at all.
Drilling generates friction and heat, which can weaken the tooth and cause discomfort.
Patient Comfort & Anxiety Reduction:
Quiet, vibration-free, and drill-free—perfect for patients with dental anxiety.
Loud drilling, pressure, and vibration can cause stress and discomfort.
Hygiene & Safety:
The laser sterilizes as it works, reducing the risk of infection.
Requires constant sterilization of tools, with a higher risk of bacterial contamination.
Minimally Invasive Procedures:
No stitches, no excessive cutting—just precise, targeted treatment.
Requires incisions and sutures for many procedures, leading to longer recovery.
Soft Tissue Treatments:
Soft tissue treatments can reshape gums, treat gum disease, and remove oral lesions with minimal discomfort.
Often requires scalpels and sutures, leading to more pain and recovery time.
Versatility & Modern Applications:
Used for a wide range of treatments, from fillings to gum lifts and biopsies.
Relies on outdated techniques that can be more invasive and less effective.
